Is the gig economy good or bad for workers? 15 years after the launch of Uber, we’re still no nearer the answer. Maybe because the answer is ‘both and neither’, as the circumstances will fit some workers, some of the time, under certain conditions, but not all of the time, under all of the conditions. Uberisation should be coming to recruitment at some point - we have a large pool of floating labour and many more non-recruiters who could probably do the odd bit of recruitment here and there, so worth learning the lessons from other sectors who are
experiencing this before us.
